Each volume presents a classic essay by Freud with commentaries by prominent psychoanalytic teachers and analysts from different theoretical backgrounds and geographical locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Observations on Transference-Love” may have been inspired, say the contributors, by the unfortunate emotional involvements of two of Freud's colleagues with female patients. In his paper, Freud speaks of the inevitability of “transference-love” in every well-conducted analysis, its important therapeutic functions, and its potential hazards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors to this volume — Ethel Spector Person, Friedrich-Wilhelm Eickhoff, Robert S. Wallerstein, Roy Schafer, Max Hernández, Betty Joseph, Merton Max Gill, Fidias Cesio, Jorge Canestri, Takeo Doi, and Daniel N. Stern — place in the context of his evolving thinking: focus on what it tells us about love, female sexuality, and conventional morality; discuss the role of the therapist in the genesis of the patient's transference love; explore the differences between remembering, reliving, and enacting; and examine Freud's theory in light of current developments in psychoanalytic thought. Transference love is discussed in the larger context of transference in general. The essays illuminate a persistent problem in all modalities of psychotherapy: unfortunate, often tragic, enactments of erotic transference and countertransference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume also includes the original essay by Freud.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karnac Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032557338864,"sku":"9781782200864","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782200864_p0.jpg?v=1763719574","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782200864","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
